Hello, this VCMDR Scorch putting out a suggestion regarding the DC-17M Sniper Rifle.
cc2018_dc17ms_red [Current]
Accuracy - 1.15 Degrees
Hip Fire Accuracy- 57.30 Degrees
Firerate - 75RPM
Mobility- 70%
Damage - 400
Stability - 57%
cc2018_dc17ms_red [Change we would like] aka Reverting back to how it was.
Accuracy - 0.06 Degrees
Hip Fire Accuracy- 17.30 Degrees
Firerate - 75RPM
Mobility- 100%
Damage - 400
Stability - 57%
There reason behind it is for:
1. Since pykes literally have access to way more powerful weapons we could imagine aka T7 Ion's, T4"s, A820 Etc. There is no reason for them to think they can just roam around with little to no regard for their life and not to be counter sniped in way.
2. Since this random change happened without consulting IC command in any way, shape or form, we would like to have it reverted back and talk about changes later. Since it is completely opposite of how should we communicate one another about changes.
3. We are a literal paid battalion, it is already not easy to get to people to join us since we have another competing donor battalion I.E IQ., so this change quite hampered the way we could advertise ourselves as one of the best. we commandos, do expect top of the line the Empire could provide to us, this random change did cause harm to IC and in fact more people unwilling to join Scout Snipers. [In fact they were already struggling to keep up with demolitions, so this change realistically killed them or close to doing so and the last thing I want to witness is the downfall of one of IC's most competent Marksmen.]
4. The whole point of a sniper is for it to be accurate, no matter the damage or the RPM, if you remove that aspect or just make it redundant, then you can't even consider it a sniper in the first place since it's whole stick is to be accurate and powerful.
5. I've heard that that the drop and everything is affected by the wind or something, but let me make this clear. It is a laser bolt, it is suppose to be going where you aimed and shot from without it being affected unless a lightsaber user deflects it, that is it, it isn't a bullet, it is a laser bolt.
Looking forward towards responses.
